"I was about six and in the abandoned zoo with Pops. There were lots of rusty nails and broken glass but we had steel-toed boots on so it was okay. We saw a tiger and he tumbled down. And Pops said, 'hello' very quietly and I said 'hello' very quietly. It was a nice tiger. Then suddenly we heard an 'aye-yi-aa' above us---it was a monkey! Then suddenly I heard a flap of wings above me. It was the body of a lion and the wings of an eagle---a griffin! I wore pink steel-toed boots. Pops wore the black ones and he stepped on a rusty nail!"
